Pastor Josh preaches from 2 Timothy 4:1-5. 2nd Timothy 4:1-5 Study Questions 1) Paul admonishes Timothy in verse 2 to preach the Word both in and out of season. What are the dangers of the Word only being preached when it is convenient or acceptable? What should we look for in a preacher or church to determine whether or not the Word is truly being preached? 2) In light of verses 3-4, how should believers discern and respond to teachings that cater to “itching ears,” such as the prosperity gospel? What role does the local church take in this response? 3) In verse 3 Paul says “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions…” What are the dangers of only surrounding ourselves with teachers that say what we want to hear? How do we avoid this? 4) How can we pray for the pastors of local churches that have been tasked with the responsibility of preaching the Word of God in a culture where it will bring them ridicule or suffering? What are some practical ways you can encourage your pastors and fellow members in this?
What was Paul's aim in the midst of deadly persecutions and trials? John Piper unpacks the apostle's realism and hope in his encouragements to Timothy.

What if grace is more than pardon—and actually the power that fuels multiplication? In this episode, Justus, a young professional leader in Oklahoma City, unpacks 2 Timothy 2:1–7 and shows how grace strengthens believers like fuel in an engine. Through vivid stories, soldier-athlete-farmer analogies, and real-life failures (like running out of gas on I-40), he reveals how God multiplies small acts of obedience into something far greater. You'll walk away encouraged to push the pedal of faith and watch God fill the gap with His strength.Show NotesIn this episode we cover:Grace as more than forgiveness—grace as strength.How the soldier, athlete, and farmer shape our understanding of endurance.Why multiplication requires grace, not just effort.Dallas Willard's insight: Grace is opposed to earning, not effort.Personal stories that make the theology tangible (like running out of gas).A new original song inspired by this lesson: Burnin' Grace in Worn Out Boots.

Sunday Sermon - FIRST THINGS FIRST Sermon Series
September 28th, 2025 | Speaker: Jonathan Cleveland 2 Timothy 2:1-7 calls us to be strong in God's grace, endure challenges with perseverance, and invest in passing faith on to others.
Steve and Doug get back into the groove ... but not by listening to Madonna.
We are both sheep and shepherds—learning from others while also leading others toward Jesus. That's the heart of the legacy we are called to leave through multiplication. It's about faith that doesn't stop with us, but continues as we walk with someone else, speak biblical truth, and help them grow in godliness. When we live out this rhythm of multiplication, we leave behind a legacy of faith that lasts far beyond our own lives.

In this message from the Faithful Foundations series, Pastor John Murphy unpacks the first cry of the Reformation: Sola Scriptura—Scripture Alone. He shows why God's Word is sufficient, inspired, and authoritative, contrasting it with the dangers of adding to it or placing ourselves above it. From Luther's stand at the Diet of Worms to Paul's words in 2 Timothy 3, the call is clear: Scripture alone must anchor what we believe and how we live. More than information, it leads us to transformation as it points us to Christ.

Welcome to Sermon Brainwave! Join hosts Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Rolf Jacobson as they dive deep into the lectionary readings for the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost (October 12th, 2025). In this episode, we explore the powerful theme of unexpected faith through the story of Jesus healing ten men with a skin disease in Luke 17:11-19, where a Samaritan becomes the unlikely exemplar of gratitude and praise. The hosts connect this Gospel reading with the fascinating Old Testament story of Naaman the Syrian from 2 Kings 5, examining how healing and salvation come through unexpected people and surprising means. We also discuss Jeremiah's revolutionary letter to the Babylonian exiles, where the prophet gives the shocking advice to "seek the shalom of the city" - even Babylon - and the endurance theology found in 2 Timothy 2:8-15.

Should we love pleasure, or is doing so a sinful sign of the last days? John Piper contrasts loving pleasure for its own sake with loving pleasure in God.
Join hosts Rolf Jacobson, Karoline Lewis, and Matt Skinner for another engaging episode of Sermon Brainwave as they tackle the challenging texts for October 5th, 2025. In this episode, the hosts dive deep into Luke 17:5-10, exploring the disciples' request to "increase our faith" and Jesus' puzzling response about mustard seeds and mulberry trees. They grapple with the difficult connection between faith and obedience, and whether Jesus is redirecting or chastising his followers. The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Rolf introduces Habakkuk as perhaps the best biblical example of what faith truly means - not passive waiting, but active resistance and trust in God's vision even when the world seems to be falling apart. The hosts explore how "the righteous will live by faith" plays out in times of societal chaos and personal struggle. The episode also touches on Lamentations as a theology of witnessing suffering, 2 Timothy's emphasis on faithful endurance, and practical ways to incorporate lament into worship and preaching. Whether you're a preacher preparing for Sunday or someone interested in thoughtful biblical interpretation, this episode offers fresh insights into these challenging texts.

When Paul starts listing sins that define unbelievers in the last days, he leads with an example more heinous than the rest: unrighteous self-love.
“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16–17 NLT) Over the next few days, we’re going to address some frequently asked questions about the Christian faith. It’s likely that none of these questions will be new to you. You’ve probably heard them—or maybe even asked them yourself—more than once. I want to emphasize that these questions are valid. They often indicate a thoughtful approach to the Christian faith. But sometimes questions are nothing more than a smokescreen—a way of deflecting the truth of the gospel. They are excuses for not making a decision for Christ. With that in mind, let’s proceed. In Isaiah 1:18, God says, “Come now, and let us reason together” (NKJV). Christianity is a logical faith. It was only after I became a Christian that the world began to make sense to me. Prior to becoming a believer, I thought that mankind was basically good. And I really struggled with the horrible things that people did to people. But after I became a believer and discovered that the Bible teaches that mankind is sinful, I began to understand. I also discovered that God can change the human heart. Becoming a Christian doesn’t mean you have to check your brain at the door. Bring your questions, even the tough ones. Find out what God says in His Word. Of course, if we’re going to search for answers in God’s Word, we need to be able to trust it. So, our first question is: How do we know the Bible is true? We can point to its amazing origin. The Bible is actually sixty-six different books written over a span of 1,500 years by some forty different authors from every walk of life, including kings, peasants, philosophers, fishermen, poets, statesmen, and scholars. Yet every one of them wrote about the same theme, God’s redemption of mankind. Because God Himself directed their words. We can point to archaeology. For many years, scholars used archaeology to argue that the Bible was unreliable. They could find no evidence of certain names, places, and events mentioned in Scripture. As archaeologists uncover more and more of the ancient world, however, they are discovering that the Bible is quite accurate. We can point to prophecy, specifically prophecies about the Messiah. Jesus fulfilled many Old Testament prophecies—including being born of a virgin, being born in Bethlehem, and being crucified—centuries after the prophecies were made. Perhaps most importantly, we can point to what the Bible says about how to know God and how to live in these troubled, crazy times. It’s the only book that speaks with authority in this realm. And it’s the only book whose promises resonate deep within us. Ultimately, the best way to discover that the Bible is true is to experience its truths in your own life.

Paul says the last days will be full of deceivers and difficulties. But why should that be so? John Piper offers six possible reasons.
